just after five pm here in moscow this is with me. in northern. peacekeepers have used shoot to kill threats to break a roadblock by protesters on the border. move it this week failed and left several injured. is close to the action with this report. on friday the k. four troops removed one of the barricades which. set up in order to block the police and the k. four troops from gaining access to the area and we understand that more than one hundred k. four troops came over there pointed their guns at the serbs locating this particular area and ordered them that they should leave the serbs obeyed and retreated peacefully with no violence and set up another

a manmade checkpoint and they pulled two large trucks on a bridge thus blocking the road the access for troops into the northern part of course of all still more than ten people remain in local hospitals in me that i would say in the town of. after being injured in tuesday's clashes with a k. four troops we managed to pay them a visit and ask them what exactly happened on tuesday. of this. we were standing by the barricade when the soldiers started shouting and shooting at us i didn't know what they were shooting with so i got scared and started running away and i was hit on the shoulder and it turned out to be a perforated my lungs the most interesting fact here is that the k. four troops and nato have been trying to convince everybody that they only used rubber bullets and tear gas grenades against the angry mob to pacify them but doctors and local hospitals told us that they that those people who were injured in

those clashes were delivered to hospitals carrying gunshot wounds to his room. seven men in heavy condition gunshot wounds fractures and bruises there were not wounds from rubber bullets not a single of them had a rubber room all those wounds were caused by regular bullets which we extracted from their bodies and now the serbs may have lost one of their checkpoints but they have lots more around the area we've counted more than ten different checkpoints of the. the determination of the sort of people is very strong now to show that they do not want to be part of the course of a republic. they are telling us to leave we have no way to leave this is because cos liberal is our land our home and our life it seems to me on our own now stand our ground. has been very harsh international response on the actions of this week here in. the united states accusing the course of the serbs of

provoking violence and the russian foreign ministry expressing deepest concerns over the situation here saying that this may seem as a small as a minor border crossing dispute but in reality this could destabilize the situation in the whole region. reporting the actions of nato peacekeepers may only provoke and not prevent more violence that's according to belgrade based political analyst alex on the average. they've totally and openly stepped out of the un mandate and they're really really now just like during one nine hundred ninety nine during the bombing when they were the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as their infantry so this is what we have this is a clear breach of the u.n. charter and of the resolution twelve forty four all they're doing right now is that they're actually. destabilizing the situation they're actually bringing conflict.

everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly take the administrative border back in july and ever since then they've been giving them full support so they're encouraging actually the government in prishtina. headed by a caution toci who is wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence that they're not a peace factor at all they're a total factor of war and destabilization. well we're bringing you all of us updates as soon as they happen for the meantime so you can head over to our. video page to get the freshest pictures of this board or you can watch them there were only a dollar load them in quality broadcast that is for free i just took it out of

beginning that the eastern part of libya was a hotbed of islamic radicalism some of these people have been connected to. one of the leaders who was killed recently it was a libyan he came from this general area and now we know that one of the leaders of the rebel forces that took tripoli was also considered very close to al qaeda and was indeed detained by the united states for some time before he was allowed to go free so it appears that the people with the guns on the side of the loop. being rebels and now the government are people who have this very mixed background and it's not clear how that works out when you get down to the point of once the country's under the control of this of this force which side of this force will will be predominant. meantime libyan a revolutionary forces say they have surrounded the city of sirte a stronghold meanwhile aid agencies are alarmed to the thousands of civilians

fleeing the perceived town people are being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and a general lack of supplies. a deputy editor of the independent online magazine spiked says the situation has only been made worse by nato. this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february that kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with lost time by gadhafi forces in fact is this is the kind of last stand that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and clearly there's a last time that this thing about the role of the international community know could be making things worse not simply by bombarding the city but boy actually having made such a fuss about civilians being injured or even though they played a healthy but by saying that if given the khadafi forces a real incentive to keep keep those civilians in the city probably well i'm sure

many of them would like to get out of there no. effect if we become a kind of shield by which the they can they can stay there for a loan for a bit longer and with no end in sight to be ongoing libyan conflict many are warning that it could actually follow the path of the afghan war that's been raging for a decade now later in the program when i ask people in new york what they think ten years of fighting. which. i don't see a goal and i really see anything changing even if we stay there another hundred years for a war there for that long it better be for something we better be getting something out of it and that's going to happen now more opinions on the worthiness of the afghan war from the heart of the big apple that's coming your way in just a few minutes. plus as one of the worst droughts in decades forces a growing number of fire. in india to take their own lives look at why their families blame the state and not mother nature.

french president nicolas sarkozy has admitted the financial failure of greece would actually be the failure of all of europe he again called on e.u. partners not to leave athens without help and so following a meeting with the country's prime minister in paris sarkozy's words however are not being matched with action if the eurozone is still delaying its decision on whether to release more bailout money international inspectors are trying to wade through the tide of public anger to assess whether athens deserves another shot of money a greek government has meantime pushed through pension cuts and extra taxes to try and please its creditors william dartmouth an m.e.p. for the u.k. independence party says the e.u.'s obsession with the euro can only end in disaster . as far as the greek people are concerned adherents to the single currency means higher taxes lower government expenditure and cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even for a country like germany in fact specifically

a country like germany at here is the single currency means massive transfer payments paid to countries in southern europe and what's happening is that the germans are no longer putting up with it we shouldn't be where we are now and it is because of the fanaticism of this european elite and we should look very carefully at what they have to say in the future these are guilty men and they are discredited men what is very worrying is that as my as my father used to say to me when i was a young man he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of five financial guarantees is that they get caught and there is a limit to how much even a country like germany can produce and of course a country like france is actually much much less and there will be a long term question marks over the credit credit worthiness of france and germany if the multiple trillions of your ears which are required are actually. called off . not only the greeks who up in arms about the situation they've been dumped into

the u.s. is also witnessing angry moods and right in the heart of the nation's financial hub hundreds of throwing their weight behind the latest demonstration it's called occupy wall street and doing so to protest against the huge influence and bad behavior of corporations and billionaires. and i was there at protesters are here for a simple reason they feel duped and defrauded by the system that blank wall street greed because the financial meltdown that led to an economic collapse one in six americans are currently living in poverty bankers were held unaccountable and it was the people left to suffer this could be the skeleton of a revolution or the beginning of one possibly as high profile activists and scholars started joining these crowds it became harder for the media to ignore these demonstrations it also became hard for most americans to not take these crowd seriously as police brutality started to occur last weekend over eighty protesters were arrested several women were surrounded by

a police man and beast with pepper sprayed but these protesters say they're willing to pay any price to get their voices heard a lot of people are talking about the one percent you know and you know a fraction of the one percent that have all the money and really all of our if you think about it because we would say goes the influence a lot of decisions which doesn't help anyone else but them so that's why everyone else has been through you know as the protests gather first family and support me are beginning to wonder if this could become reminiscent of what america saw in wisconsin this truck up to seventy thousand people essentially storm the capitol will take because they're pretty simple so we don't know what it was so you can support that has two hundred fifty people have come out. any of these demonstrators are planning to stay here and grow in numbers until a real he's. after all if the arab spring was applauded by the powers that be why not listen to

a similar price for. the future going to be or. worse the authorities are accused of trying to silence the voices on wall street max kaiser and stacy hope but are refusing to stay quiet a lot of us out with a look at why some are so keen to put an end to financial rumors. the world bank the fed the be all we all agree there we can't talk truth here in the financial world here's a little video clip i want to turn to and this is the former greek finance minister yano us papantonio and he is that talking about this rumors of a fifty percent. haircut in greek debt should a solution require a fifteen percent haircut as as i believe the current finance minister has suggested you know they've got to fight it's me this is closer because if you did this and he said dangers of a dangerous proposition for greece yes pap antonio financial harpies i mean that's and he doesn't want to talk about it understandably but the cure for financial

herpes yanis pap antonio is you've got to talk about it you've gotta go to the doctor or whatever and you've got to take care of your financial harpies i realise it's embarrassing and you should have been fornicating at the i.m.f. they gave me the financial harpies now you're a pariah. all right you can watch the cars reporting about fifteen minutes time here and see for now though the russian press is chewing over president unveiled its latest interview where he explained his decision not to enter the upcoming presidential race now the president admitted that he shares common goals with a lot of me and the current prime minister's high popularity levels make him the best man for the candidacy he could push going off now has reaction from the papers . well the president's interview with the heads of the three biggest t.v. stations in russia did focus on some of the most important to latest political events in the country such as his decision not to run for

a second term in office his recommendation off prime minister. for the top job and to the sudden dismissal off on now former finance minister ali see who didn't so there's lots of analysis and opinions in saturday's press in russia opinions both positive and not so positive let's start with the newspaper review was well known here in russia and it's published an article trying to show you this. the title of what were you after your ambition and the analysts that the newspaper was talking to have been saying that even though the need to do has finally announced his political plans and the plans of his stand down with prime minister why do you fortune there's still a loss of uncertainty since the official political programs for the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections still have not been announced however this

point of view is not shared by the analysts that. spoke to the other well known big newspaper in russia not to go under the title of how significant is the timing and its analysts have been saying that the media has finally managed to close a deal list of the biggest. during that upcoming presidential election next to more true now or loss of focus is definitely on the sudden dismissal now former finance minister aleksey kudrin who is always thought to be the key ally both off the government and off the president's administration the newspaper says that step to dismiss him like receiving more questions into what else could happen while the meeting with he's still in office. however there are analysts who see. the dismissal just shows that the president is serious in his ambitions just too much of the problem and cio action will be held in russia in the summer and the

presidential pull be held next more cheney thing going to happen still. need to be different it's still going to be up to the people to decide who gets to run the country next despite a recommendation that he meet with you i think you're going to miss going off right there when i mean time our political analyst. here at r.t. the logic and ambition of may very deft decision was clear the very day it wasn't asked but now i think this situation is pretty logical. representing this same political force united russia being. not being put in politics they're still pretty close politically at this point is needed if explained. is more popular. himself and the question is about winning the next presidential election will not come

money and even those who have say it's not enough studies show that during the ninety's farmers were able to make around sixty dollars version of land every year today just about forty dollars for almost four acres of land the government has pledged billions of dollars in relief packages to farmers and promised to increase the minimum rate on certain exports but many believe the farmers are being ignored . the government is neglecting agriculture the basic information. is not available to the farmers the government is not providing sufficient loans which is who has two million dollars of money. those who have tried to beat the drought themselves took out huge loans to dig wells but for many it's in vain. we are losing by making these wells but we are surviving because we are determined not to. we are leading. us to sinking water levels mean

on the streets of new york to see if they believe that this war story will ever have a happy ending. it's been ten years since the u.s. bombed afghanistan as a prelude to an ongoing war a decade later has it been worth it this week let's talk about that for wars as no benefit so what are they still doing there for ten years i don't know what the hell . they had here and i don't know it's probably another vietnam. war where the problem is not a we're not. going to win it's just a case of more and more americans and others dying it seems clear cut see that it's not worth but i don't see a goal and i really see anything changing even if we stay there another hundred years it was worth it to hunt down al qaeda but i think we did there at the start with our special forces and for the past nine years i don't think we've

accomplished much at all a very controversial question there's pros and cons to the situation what are the pros the pros is i think that we have to make a statement that we aren't able to. say things sitting down that we have a voice and whether it's there's more peaceful ways to present that probably how does it go on for ten years that you take a stand for ten years it's a hornet's nest there's no winner over there we have great. we're in there with them but what do we have to do. well eventually we got to bring peace and i mean that's such a nebulous thing right like why we really bringing peace to afghanistan well only time will tell you know i don't really know enough about it to say whether it was worth it and you know don't you think that's crazy that your country's been at war for ten years and you don't know anything about it that is a problem. but yeah do you think most americans feel that way you know i'm sure a lot of americans there are your pro and anti i look at this so i mean for for

a war there for that long i mean i better be for something and we better be good. it's a bit out of it do you think that's going to happen now it seems like most people don't feel like the u.s. war in afghanistan has been worth that unfortunately no one in power seems to be listening. and i just approaching five thirty pm here in moscow i will be back with a recap of our main stories in just a few minutes. the
